Grrrrrrr can't get damn cat out..... it's held in well with studs + bolts. Got the bolts off but the studs it seems are welded to / are a part of the cat.

Any tips?

Do I have to remove the whole back section of the exhaust to get the cat out? I think I just realised this to be true :P

just work with the wiggle room

exhaust is on hangers, should be able to move it back a bit to get the cat out

its a c*nt of a job on my car, thats why i decided i wasnt going to swap the decat pipe in every track day after doing it once

LOL, found dad's old paperwork for the ride on:

He bought it second hand in 1994, and it was old then:

'twas an 8HP apparently (I thought it was less) but that engine blew up.

He bought the new 10.5HP engine in 1998, at the time it was the biggest one we could get that fit:

I'm not sure how old the mower itself is exactly but I did find the instruction book:

If you look down the bottom, you can note the SIX DIGIT phone number.

Now I remember going from 7 to 8 digits some time in primary school, but 6?

Some quick research, and this very informative page tells me that "Brisbane went to 7 digits in 1975". Therefore, we can conclude that the beast is older than 1975. Thats 35+ years!

And note: it is a mini tractor, not a ride on :P. EEESSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look, you can (could) even get tractor attachments for it:

Definitely needs turbo love

Don't talk to me about ride on trailers, made that mistake once, hung over after new years, we decided to ride in the trailer to clean up the mess we made couldn't find the holding pin to keep it on, going down the hill very fast and the trailer popped off, catapult anyone?

bugger

we could MAKE a trailer for it

matter of fact, there is a small box trailer in the back yard I doubt has any chance of ever getting road registered. Could convert it to a tractor trailer

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
